onBeing
http://specials.washingtonpost.com/onbeing/
onBeing is a project based on the simple notion that we should get to know one
another a little better. What you’ll find here is a series of videos that takes you
into the musings, passions, histories and quirks of all sorts of people. The essence
of who they are, who we are.
